Abstract: | Summary The carcinogenicity of 1,2-dimethylhydrazine dihydrochloride (DMH) by oral, intragastric and subcutaneous administration was examined in 339 BALB/c mice. Subcutaneous injection of DMH induced intestinal tumors in the lower colon of all mice. After oral administration it induced a high incidence of vascular tumors in the liver and soft tissues, but colon tumors were found in only 2 mice when given at a high dosage. On intragastric administration, it induced a fairly high incidence both of colon and vascular tumors. The sites and incidences of vascular tumors and squamous cell carcinomas of the perianal glands were also described.This work was supported in part by a Grant-in Aid for Cancer Research from the Ministry of Education, Japan. |
